The minus? I am 12 ft from my refridgerator alone all day. :help:

I am a Life and Health Insurance Agent (mainly employee benefits). I've been selling insurance for 12 years and absolutely love it! It allows me all the time I need for my two kids who are big into athletics. I think I work harder keeping them going than I do at my money making job...but I wouldn't trade my life for the world!!!!

I'm a morning DJ and news announcer for the local radio station. I left TV when I started putting on weight. I still have to dress decently but can wear sandals in the winter if I want and no make up. I'm off by 10am so I still get to be sort of a stay at home mom. I just half to go to bed about the time my daughter does (she's 9) in order to get up at 3:30 each morning. But I love it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
